Editor's Note: Rotoworld's partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $80,000 Fantasy Basketball league for Monday's games. It's $25 to join and first prize is $9,000. Starts at 7pm ET on Monday. Here's the FanDuel link.

Weekend Studs

Joakim Noah - Noah fought through a sprained ankle for his second triple-double of the season, racking up 13 points, 12 boards, 14 assists, two steals and two blocks in a win over the Knicks. He’s been ridiculous for a couple months and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Kevin Love – I don’t have time to research it, but Love’s four made shots on Saturday might be one of the best four-bucket games of all time. He was just 4-of-12 from the floor, yet still managed to finish with 22 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, a block and two 3-pointers. And as if that’s not enough, he also hit 12-of-14 free throws, which obviously helped save the night, and committed a single turnover. It’s just hard to imagine him playing any better than he has this season. Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin made triumphant returns from injury in this game, but Love stole the fantasy show.

Dwyane Wade – Don’t look now but Wade has played in six straight games and hit 10-of-14 shots for 24 points, three rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes on Saturday. And if you count the All-Star Game, that’s seven straight games played for Wade. His season has consisted of a series of short games-played streaks. He started off the year with a season-high eight straight games played back in November, had a seven-game streak in January, a six-game streak in February and the current six-game streak he’s on. And this means one of two things. He’s either healthy and ready to quiet his critics by playing this thing out, or he’s ready to miss a random game and mess up the fantasy playoffs for some of us. The Heat play four times this week and Wade looks good to go, but there is a back-to-back situation to worry about, as the Heat host the Bobcats on Monday, then visit the Rockets on Tuesday. He’s in my lineup in a playoff league and I’m not going to lie. Just as he has for most of the season, I’m expecting Wade to let me down at some point this week, but am also hoping he’s turned the corner and will keep playing.

Trevor Ariza – Ariza racked up a career-high 40 points with four steals, a block and eight 3-pointers on Saturday. And despite having him in my daily money league lineup, Timofey Mozgov and C.J. Watson saw to it that I didn’t win. And from what I gathered from Twitter, I wasn’t alone. Ariza has been a beast for most of the season and one of the best waiver-wire pickups of the year.

Jeff Teague – He’s had his owners want to jump off a cliff for a month or so now, but Teague showed up in a big way on Sunday. He helped me win some daily money, despite Victor Oladipo being in my lineup, and went off with 29 points, six rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block on 14-of-21 shooting. He’s scored between 26 and 29 points in each of his last four games and it looks like the slump is officially over.

Gerald Green – Green stayed hot with 33 points on Sunday, hitting five 3-pointers and all 10 of his free throws in a win over the Hawks. Eric Bledsoe continues to get closer to a return, but Green continues to defy the odds and rack up numbers. Yes, he’ll take a hit once Bledsoe’s back, but not enough of one that you should be dumping him right now.

Tyson Chandler – Chandler ripped down 22 rebounds to go along with three blocks on Sunday against his former team (Bulls). I don’t own Chandler anywhere, so I was a little surprised to see how well he’s rebounding (and playing) recently. He had 23 rebounds a week ago Saturday and is now averaging 11.0 points, 17.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over his last five games. The Knicks are a mess, but Chandler is doing what he can to help.

DeMar DeRozan – DeRozan scored 32 points with four boards, six assists, a 3-pointer and a steal on Sunday, marking his third straight game with at least that many points. I caught some heat when I put him on this list, but since the All-Star break, he’s averaging 26.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists. His 3-pointers had dried up until last night, but he’s hit 86 percent of his free throws over his last five games, and I still maintain that he was one of the best deals in fantasy hoops on draft night, and he’s still rolling.

Tobias Harris – With Glen Davis out of town Harris is rolling and racked up a season-high 31 points with eight rebounds and three steals. He’s at 20.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals over his last five and now looks like a must-start. Finally.

Russell Westbrook – Westbrook is rolling, scoring between 21 and 26 points in each of his three games and caught fire on Sunday, hitting 10-of-12 shots and 4-of-5 3-pointers for a highly efficient 26 points, five dimes and two steals. He’s shooting 48 percent over his last five and is killing it for his patient fantasy owners. Sure, the Thunder lost three of those games, but in fantasy, who cares?

Reggie Jackson – I went with Jackson in Waiver Wired as the guy to own with Thabo Sefolosha’s season in doubt with a calf injury and he came through with 17 points, three boards, three assists, a steal and a 3-pointer on Sunday. Perry Jones started and Jeremy Lamb played heavy minutes, but I want to own Jackson of the three.

Perry Jones started and Jeremy Lamb played heavy minutes, but I want to own Jackson of the three.

Vince Carter – Carter stayed red-hot Sunday with 21 points, four boards, five dimes and three more treys. He’s averaging 18.8 points, 4.4 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.6 3-pointers over his last five and is simply a better player to own than Marion. Carter should be grabbed in most leagues, but he’s available in 55 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Kawhi Leonard - Leonard is finally living up to the hype since returning from his hand injury and had 16 points, seven rebounds, a steal, a block and three 3-pointers on Sunday. In his three games since returning he’s averaging 14.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.7 blocks and 2.0 3-pointers on 55 percent shooting. Hopefully he can avoid being 'Popped' anytime soon.

Tony Parker – Parker finally returned from a six-game absence on Sunday and hit 10-of-15 shots for 22 points, seven assists and a 3-pointer, with just one turnover in 32 minutes. Who knows when his next missed game will occur, but he sure looked good last night.

Boris Diaw – Diaw had 14 points, 10 rebounds, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer on Sunday, but scored four points with six rebounds and seven assists on Friday. And that’s the deal with Diaw. He’s either going to have a solid line or a dud, and you never know when either one is coming.

Terrence Jones – Jones had 22 points, 10 rebounds and a block on Saturday, but had four points and four rebounds in his previous game. He also had a three-point, six rebound game last Thursday and is a mess right now with Donatas Motiejunas, Omer Asik and Jordan Hamilton all getting minutes. Jones might have been dropped in your league recently, but you’ll know why if you check out his game log. But he’s averaging 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.6 blocks over his last five, and might be getting ready to heat up again. He’s at least worth a look if he was dumped in your league, but I just don’t trust him right now.

DeMarcus Cousins – Boogie returned from his suspension on Saturday and went off for 21 points, 17 rebounds and three blocks. He’s one technical foul away from a suspension, but with four games this week, you have to play him and pray that he keeps his cool this week. Gulp.

Weekend Duds

Kevin Durant – It’s hard to call a 28-points, 6-rebound, 5-assist game a dud, but we’ve come to expect better than 8-of-24 shooting (0-for-6 from downtown) from KD. He was 12-of-12 from the line and is 22-of-22 in his last two games. I’m not going to blame his poor shooting on Westbrook, as Durant simply had an off night.

Victor Oladipo – Oladipo was a fantasy killer this weekend, falling apart on both Saturday and Sunday. He was 2-of-6 for 10 points and almost nothing else on Saturday and then, despite playing the Sixers, hit just 3-of-10 shots for nine points, four dimes and two steals on Sunday. He’ll bounce back, but his juicy matchup on Sunday ended up crushing the hopes of a lot of daily fantasy players. He tried to ruin me, but was the lone poor play in my lineup, resulting in some milk money for my kids. But instead of peanuts, it could have been a house payment had i gone with someone other than Oladipo.

Henry Sims – Sims played 31 minutes and had 12 points, seven rebounds, a steal and a block in Sunday’s loss. He’s averaging 8.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over his last four, making him worth a look in deeper leagues. But this is a tough week to own him, as the Sixers play just four games.

Tim Hardaway Jr. – Hardaway hit just 5-of-14 shots for 14 points and not much else on Sunday, but did have two 3-pointers. He also hit just 2-of-15 shots (0-for-8 from downtown) on Thursday, meaning he’s tough to trust in fantasy. He’s averaging 11.8 points with 2.0 3-pointers on 33 percent shooting over his last five, so you can probably find a more reliable option on your wire.

Roy Hibbert – Hibbert was in early foul trouble Sunday and hit just 1-of-9 shots for two points, four rebounds and two blocks in a win over the Jazz. He was rolling coming into that one, averaging 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks over his previous three games, so look for him to bounce back this week. Then again, he was also 1-of-9 for four points, six boards and three blocks last Saturday, so he is prone to disappear at times, as his owners know all too well.

James Anderson – Anderson hit 1-of-7 shots for two points on Sunday and has scored in single digits in three of his last five games, shooting 35 percent over that stretch. And with two games this week, you don’t want him in your lineup.

Kemba Walker – Walker is in another one of his shooting funks, hitting 3-of-13 shots on Sunday, 3-of-15 shots on Friday, and 3-of-11 shots the previous Friday. So over his last five, Walker is averaging 17.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 3-pointers, while shooting just 33 percent from the floor. He usually bounces out of slumps in a big way, so I think he’s due for a big week.

Danny Green – Green’s struggles continued on Sunday when he hit 2-of-8 shots for five points, four rebounds, three assists and a 3-pointer. He hit 2-of-7 shots on Friday and 3-of-7 on Wednesday, as well. He’s averaging 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 3-pointers over his last five, while shooting 42 percent. If you feel lucky and want to roll with him, go for it. But I’m simply not brave enough to put him in a weekly lineup, as this is what we’ve gotten all season from one of fantasy’s biggest disappointment.
